Live like a pasha in this ultra-stylish riad with lush
gardens, secret courtyards and an impressive restaurant, hidden
amidst the souks of Marrakech

Imagine a young girl walking with a ginger cat and a large dog
through an exotic leafy courtyard to see ‘Lion’,
‘Chameleon’ or ‘Prince’. It sounds like an
extract from a Lewis Carroll book, but it's a real scene in
Marrakech’s most fairy-tale hotel.

The girl is Enija, daughter of Swedish architect Bjorn Conerdings
and Swiss designer Ursula Haldimann. The setting is a 200-year-old
silk-traders’ palace, transformed by Bjorn and Ursula into an
ultra-stylish maison d’hotes. Lion, Chameleon and
Prince are 3 of the 15 spacious and meticulously decorated
rooms and suites (fabrics and colours by Ursula,
structure by Bjorn). The animals are the family pets. And the
exotic courtyard? Well, you can see for yourself. There's more -
tropical gardens, burbling fountains - around every corner. But the
magic does not stop there: step outside and you are in the heart of
Marrakech’s humming souks, colourful alleys and bustling
bazaars.
